I heard one rumor that it was brewed in America, then shipped to Germany so they could say it was "imported from Germany" on the label. :=) "I didn't know you could drive to Europe." -- An eavesdropper, piping in when he overheard a conversation about someone who had driven to Montreal.

Not the tourist one in downtown Amsterdam...but the big one...capacity is something near 1 million bottles per day. Some beer companies actually do ship "concentrate" and add water to package. Coors does this in the US. So the "rocky mtn springwater" is used to brew it...then you get somebody else's water added to turn it into the swill it becomes.
